(WJBK) - NBC News announced early Wednesday morning that it has fired Today Show anchor Matt Lauer for what the network is calling "inappropriate sexual behavior."

Co-anchor Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb opened the show Wednesday morning with the announcement. Savannah read the memo all colleagues received from Andy Lack, the chairman of NBC News.

Just minutes after the announcement was made, President Trump reacted to the news on Twitter by asking when the top executives at the network will be fired for "putting out so much Fake News."

Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lack’s past!
